FULL SPEECH: Donald Trump NAHB Miami Florida 8/11/16 FNN

The 2016 presidential rivals set aside their latest campaign controversies Thursday to trade jabs on jobs, taxes and the economy -- with Donald Trump casting Hillary Clinton as bad for the housing industry and the Democratic nominee accusing her opponent of offering "no credible plans" for working Americans.

Clinton also tried to out-tough Trump on trade, vowing to beef up enforcement on trade rules and punish countries that violate them.

"Mr. Trump may talk a big game on trade, but his approach is based on fear, not strength," Clinton said in Michigan. "If Team USA was as fearful as Trump, Michael Phelps and Simone Biles would be cowering in the locker room, afraid to come out to compete."

Trump delivered an economic speech of his own earlier this week in Michigan. On Thursday, he also spoke to the National Association of Home Builders in Miami Beach, Fla., and decried the Obama administration’s increase in regulations on building properties.

“In the last five years, regulations on building … have increased by 29 percent,” he said.

Trump cited his family’s history in the industry and regaled the crowd with anecdotes of his father Fred’s homebuilding exploits. He told the association, though, that the regulation situation would only get worse if Clinton is elected in November.

Wow, great speech, I haven't really been following Trump lately, but this speech makes a lot of sense, and he is refined and calm, which I have never seen this side of him before, and I like what I'm seeing, he actually looks and sounds presidential here. I can totally vote for this man, and I will come Nov 8. TRUMP 2016.

Wow... What a nice speech! Calm, professional... Trump letting everyone know some things about his family and upbringing... Hitting the issues -- taxes, regs, defense, immigration, trade... Discussing the importance of home builders... Not at all how the media portray the guy... Solid.

The man that argues with a woman and insults her physical appearance is a dullard. End of story.
